After they arrived, Ryosuke opened his mouth and asked, "Peeping on the women's bathhouse and disturbing Konoha's public order. What kind of punishment should he receive?"
The patrol squad captain immediately replied. "Jiraiya peeped on the women's bathhouse. According to the Konoha Guard Regulations, he should be sentenced to one month in jail."
"Additionally, this guy openly resisted arrest and deceived the members of the guard."
"He must be heavily punished. For this alone, he should be sentenced to at least half a year. Altogether, that makes 7 months of imprisonment."
Jiraiya was dumbfounded upon hearing this Uchiha clansman's words. 'Is this a joke?'
He only peeped on the women's bathhouse. It's not like anyone was injured or there was any property damage.
At most, a few days in jail should be the limit. But 7 months? In that damned prison, how could he possibly last that long? No alcohol, no women to accompany him.
He said with some dissatisfaction, "Isn't that a bit too harsh? Can't you reduce the sentence a bit? After all, this is my first offense."
Even if he was unhappy in his heart, he could only endure it and not lash out, because Jiraiya knew being forceful would not work.
Ryosuke looked at Jiraiya and said mockingly, "You're not a first-time offender, are you?"
This Jiraiya had a habit of peeping since childhood.If it weren't for having the Third Hokage as his backing, he would've already been caught and thrown into jail by the guard squad.
But this guy wasn't really a bad person, and he had no personal grudge with the Uchiha clan. Thinking about how to handle the matter, he finally decided.
"Since you've said so, I'll give you some face. Then let's make it six months in prison. After all, this isn't the first or second time you've been peeping."
Jiraiya was very dissatisfied hearing that the other party only reduced it by one month. What a favor he'd been given, huh?
How was six months any different from seven months? It was still a long jail sentence, enough for his beard to grow long.
He could only plead once again, "Can't it be reduced a bit more?"
Ryosuke immediately rejected, "Of course not. If the prison time is short, everyone might follow your example and go peeping. That would be disastrous and cause chaos in Konoha."
"Also, I hope you won't do such things in the village again. It sets a bad example for others."
Jiraiya felt very irritated when his request was denied. Six months really was a heavy sentence. Was he really going to have to accept it?
Staying in prison meant absolutely no freedom. With his free-spirited personality, how could he possibly endure it?
The Uchiha clan's patrol squad was very pleased seeing Ryosuke punish Jiraiya so severely.
They didn't expect the always rampant Jiraiya to actually fall into the hands of their Uchiha clan. Of course, this wasn't them deliberately targeting Jiraiya. He had simply violated village regulations.
Punishing him this way would also give the villagers a proper explanation. It would also intimidate other wrongdoers and make future public order management easier.
At this time, Tsunade stepped forward and said, "Ryosuke, can you give me some face? Just one month in prison is enough."
"After all, he wasn't intentionally resisting. He just returned to the village and didn't know, so let's waive the punishment for resisting arrest."
Tsunade still gave Jiraiya a one-month jail sentence, hoping he would reflect properly. Next time he peeped, he'd definitely be thrown into prison.
As a woman, she naturally didn't want women who happily went to the bathhouse to be peeped on by this scoundrel Jiraiya.
Besides, Jiraiya had always been her classmate and comrade-in-arms. A six-month sentence was really a bit harsh.
Jiraiya was a bit moved upon hearing Tsunade speak up for him. He didn't expect her to actually plead on his behalf.
He suddenly felt that his earlier behavior had been a bit out of line. He just didn't know whether this guy would listen to Tsunade.
The Uchiha clan guard members weren't surprised that Lady Tsunade would plead for Jiraiya. It made sense. After all, they had known each other for a long time and had deep connections.
Ryosuke, hearing Tsunade's words, didn't hesitate at all and replied:m, "Since the Fifth Hokage Lady Tsunade is pleading for you, then this time we'll waive the charge of resisting arrest. One month in prison it is."
"You all, take Jiraiya and detain him in our Uchiha clan guard prison."
"Jiraiya, I'm warning you. I hope you serve your time properly and reflect on your crimes. Don't even think about escaping."
"If you try to break out, no matter where you run in the ninja world, I'll catch you."
Jiraiya was a bit dissatisfied upon hearing Ryosuke's threat. Was he the kind of person who would escape prison? Only if the prison life was too harsh, maybe he would.
At the same time, he could feel Ryosuke's resolve and knew that what he said was serious, and more importantly, that he had the ability to do it.
So he didn't dare think about escaping anymore. After all, it was only one month. For a ninja like him, it was something he could barely endure. He said helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't escape."
The Uchiha clan patrol squad came up to Jiraiya. "Lord Jiraiya, come with us."
Jiraiya sighed and could only obediently follow the guard members away.
After walking a certain distance, a voice came from behind, "Wait, there's still one more thing."
Jiraiya heard the voice and could only obediently stop in his tracks. He was a little speechless. What else did this guy want to say? Could it be that he was going to change his mind again?
Hearing this made him a bit worried.
Ryosuke stared at Jiraiya at this moment and slowly said, "From now on, when you go out of the village, don't go Hidden Rain Village unless necessary, because you might die there."
This was Jiraiya's future ending. After the end of the Second Great Ninja War, he stayed in Hidden Rain Village and took in Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan as his disciples.
He taught them ninjutsu. But after Yahiko was tricked and killed by Hanzo and Danzo, Nagato and Konan turned into radicals.
For the so-called peace of the ninja world, they even killed their own teacher without mercy, even though Jiraiya had shown them great kindness.
If Jiraiya hadn't taught them ninjutsu and given them the ability to protect themselves, they would've long been killed in that hellish place called Hidden Rain Village.
